Zestorung calls for his ships to dock at Sampetra, ruled by the Kraft Todes ally Emperor Hardrat Rickstermeister, who, with the help of Zestorung, was installed as Emperor thirteen seasons ago during a coup against Emperor Ublaz II when Zestorung and the Kraft Todes served as mercenaries for him.

OOC: Who wants to play Emperor Hardrat Rickstermeister? He is a pine marten like Zestorung, and, contrary to popular belief, NOT related to Emperor Ublaz I.
